_A Comfortable Silence_
We walked side by side, the evening air filled with a comfortable silence.
Jamie occasionally glanced at me, his expression thoughtful.
I sensed no pressure, no expectations.
Just being together felt nice.
As we turned a corner, Jamie spoke up:
"Alex, can I ask you something?"
"Sure," I replied.
"What made you hesitant to go out with me?"
I pondered.
"Your reputation," I admitted.
Jamie nodded.
"I figured."
He paused.
"I'm trying to change."
His sincerity touched me.
"I think you are," I said.
Jamie smiled.
"Thanks for believing in me."
We continued walking, hand brushing against hand.
Neither of us pulled away.
